1A spectacular view of Bass Strait to the left, and Port Phillip Bay in the distance, greets those about to commence the round.The options are to drive safely to the more generous lower left portion of the fairway, or challenge the upper plateau on the right for a better angle of approach.For the bigger hitters, this hole presents a realistic early birdie opportunity. The short grass left of the green is a deceptively difficult spot from which to get up and down.2A thrilling short par 4, which tempts longer hitters to drive at the green. The smart play, arguably, is to lay up and leave a comfortable approach distance.Avoid the bunkers short of the green which leave an awkward carry for the wayward golfer at this early point in the round. An out of bounds fence lurks perilously close to the left3A generous fairway, with pin position dictating the ideal line off the tee. A pin located on the right is best approached from the left of the fairway, and vice versa.The shot in can afford to be long, with balls typically feeding back down off the rear slope. Anything short of the green will roll back to the foot of the steep embankment which 4A visually striking hole from the tee, but one which plays brutally long into a headwind. Bunkers guard both sides of the fairway, requiring precision from the drive. The approach to the green is relatively unprotected, but it’s quite easy to run through the back to light rough. Par is always a welcome relief.5The undulating putting surface can render a two putt all but impossible, especially coming from the top right terrace to the lower left section. It can be a sound play off the tee to hit well to the right of the green and let the ball feed back down, avoiding the bunker which guides the front right.A tee shot which drifts too far to the right, however, will hold up above the green and make for an awkward downhill second.6An expansive landing zone awaits on this hole, with more room available on the left than the view from the tee conveys.An imposing sandy quarry on the right is normally able to be carried unless the hole is playing directly into the wind. In favourable conditions, longer hitters may reach in two fThose playing the hole more conventionally will face a short third, to a generous and bunkerless green. A lower approach which uses the contours short of the green may be easier to7With a slightly elevated green tucked behind a sand dune, there is no line of sight on the approach for players who have driven up the right-hand side of the fairway.The green is heavily contoured and places a premium on ‘touch’, even on some of the shorter putts. When the hole is cut on the small raised plateau of the green, the approach m8A downhill tee shot invites golfers to open their shoulders. Many will, however, elect to play conservatively, directing a fairway wood or long iron towards the right fairway bunkIn contrast to the previous hole, a dune guarding the front left of the green eliminates line of sight for approaches from the left fairway and rough. The distinctly boomerang-shap9A wide landing area beckons the driver to play long. For every yard gained off the tee, the second shot, played to a semi-blind green becomes exponentially easier to judge.Lofted approaches risk being punished in windy conditions, and conservative approach shots the back of the green will often bring three putts into play if the pin is cut at the fro10Arguably the most difficult hole on the course, this long four provides a stern yet manageable test mid-round. Par on this hole will require a solid drive and a long accurate seconCavernous bunkers encroach from the left rough, forcing the more conservative to aim well right with their drive, albeit costing them distance.Difficult surrounds make getting up and down a precarious challenge.11A wonderful long par 3 inspired by the 16th hole (Calamity) at Royal Portrush. A left-to-right shaped tee shot is aided by contours short and left which will work the shot back towTee shots which miss short or right result in a steep pitch to a blind and heavily-sloping green.12Ample room exists out to the left of the fairway but the best line into the green is from the right. The long, narrow green requires a precise approach.Accuracy and distance control are tested here as putting from above the hole is often challenging. Up and down par attempts from the left of the green also require deft touch.13A seemingly narrow funnel on this reachable par five, opens up to tumbling terrain feeding steeply from right to left. An aggressive tee shot played out to the right fairway affordThose approaching from the lower left portion of the fairway must take at least one extra club for the uphill approach.14Another invitation for a strong drive is offered here. Better visibility of the flag is the reward for tee shots played to the left of the broad fairway, but that part of the landiAny approach shot which stays out to the left affords an array of options to those who have missed the putting surface with their second.15Options abound from the tee on this hole, with a large stretch of fairway visible ahead. An additional and deceptively large portion is available well to the right, but obscured bDespite the visual discomfort off the tee, those driving right are afforded better visibility of the green, while golfers electing to take the more obvious path are faced with an u16An exacting test late in the round. Tee shots to this mid-range par three will almost inevitably rely on the mercy of the winds.A green in regulation and two putt par will always amount to a small victory against the course.17A driveable par 4 which often forces players to show restraint. Whilst an aggressive drive can yield a short approach, or even an eagle putt, there is little margin for error.Anything too far left off the tee becomes immediately problematic. The prudent play of a conservative tee shot, leaving a comfortable distance for a short approach often presents 18A striking vista greets golfers playing the final hole. A long drive will climb the imposing fairway, which narrows slightly in the landing zone, and feed on over the rise.A shorter tee shot may be punished unduly if it fails to locate flat ground on the crest of the hill, and may take the green out of play altogether.A large dune obstructs the line of sight for approaches from the left fairway. The green bears distinct segments which invite the risk of a three putt to finish.
